The WaterRower indoor rower costs £12.64 incl VAT per week to Hire and the Keiser M3 Indoor cycle costs £9.99 incl VAT per week. To apply online just click on 'hire' on any of the relevant pages and you will be taken to a secure part of our website - the whole process taking no more than a couple of minutes. Payment is made by debit card or credit card. If your application is received before 11.00am then we offer a next day delivery service (or pick any other date of your choice) to most parts of the UK. Certain postcodes are on a two day service. For more information on delivery options click on the 'Delivery' section in FAQs.
When you apply online, you have the choice of verifying your identity by faxing or emailing two utility bills to us (clear details are given to you as you apply) or for an extra one off cost of £5.00 we will perform an identity check and save you the bother. You may send utility bills through the post, but this will delay your application and therefore your delivery date by a day or so.
There is an initial deposit of £50 to be paid. This deposit is held until the machine is returned, provided only normal wear and tear has been suffered by the machine. When you are ready to return your machine, we require 30 days notice from the monthly date of your agreement to terminate. Contracts can only terminate on your monthly anniversary date. You must give at least 30 days notice prior to the anniversary date that you want the contract to end. For example, if your anniversary date is the 10th of every month, and you want your contract to terminate on the 10th of December, you must give notice at least 30 days before this date, so no later than the 10th of November. At the end of the hire period there is a once off charge of £50 to service and clean the machine, ready for its next hire. We will use your initial deposit to pay this final charge.
The minimum hire period is just three months and thereafter the Hire Agreement will 'roll' until we receive instructions from you in writing to cancel the agreement.
There are no delivery or pick up charges, either at the start or at the end of the hire period. -
The WaterRower Indoor Rower costs £20.96 incl VAT per week under our PRO Scheme.
After 11 months of hiring and the payment of a £50 Transfer Fee the machine is transferred in to your ownership.
The minimum hire period is still 3 months. If you decide after three months of hiring that the machine is not for you, just let us know and we will pick it up. If you decide to cancel before the machine is transferred to you, there is a Service Charge of £50 which is payable and this covers the cost of cleaning and servicing the machine ready for its addition to the hire fleet. This is offset against your initial deposit.
Under the PRO Scheme you will always receive a brand new and unused machine.

Your application will be delayed by the post and we wont be able to meet any next day delivery obligations. Addresses to send the bills to are supplied as part of the online ordering procedure.

There are just 16 bolts to locate. We provide very comprehensive photographic instructions. It is very simple. We have never had a single customer struggle putting a WaterRower together!

The WaterRower is almost maintenance free. Simply pop in a water purification tablet every 3 months or so to keep the water clean. We provide these tablets free of charge. When you have used the tablets we supply with the machine, just call and we will send some more out to you. Other than that the machine just needs a wipe down once in a while!
